Hi all! I wanted to introduce an AI agent I created that’s been well-received by users so far. It’s built to review quotes or invoices from potential vendors, analyze them, and log the key details (price, item, total cost) in a table format to make it easy to compare across multiple vendors. The real value comes from its ability to recommend vendors based on whatever factors you prioritize — just specify those in your prompt!
A few things of note that I wanted to share:
-
I chose to use quotes / financial documents as the content since I was working alongside some procurement teams but this could easily be adjusted for resumes, applications, etc.
-
This agent gets more powerful when you ask follow up questions. Ex: “Which vendor would be best for a more extravagant event?” OR “Who has the greatest capacity?”
-
You control which criteria matter most; if budget is key, direct the agent accordingly.
-
Always ask the agent to justify its choices. In my experience, this leads to solid explanations grounded in data plus fresh perspectives you may not have thought of before.
Prompt:
You are from XYZ company. Your job is to review quotes from event planning companies and compare them across other vendors. Ensure your findings are easy to understand and outlined in a table format. Highlight which vendor is the best pick and include your reasoning.
Provided calculations around the total cost, the cost per unit, etc so the reviewer can easily determine financials.
In some cases you may be given specific criteria around the event, in that case you should reference the criteria and choose a vendor according to that provided criteria (Example: "Find the vendor that has the largest capacity".
Let me know your thoughts / feedback and please share other creative ways you’re using AI. I’m always looking to learn!
